The Addams Family Music with MTHS Musicians

From our beloved Jeannie Brzovic: (MTHS Drama Teacher): “As some of you may know Edmonds School District has made deep cuts to the Visual and Performing Arts programs. I will have just one Production Class next year, which means a lot of things but most importantly this may very well be the last musical produced by me at MTHS (you may read between the lines if you like). Please show your support for the program and the nearly 100 students involved in this production. This is an amazing collaboration of actors, technicians and musicians (something our district just doesn’t seem to understand or value).”

Our musicians will be performing in the Orchestra Pit!

Congratulations Jazz Bands for the excellent performance at the Newport Jazz Festival!

What a night! Jazz should be proud of the day they had at last Saturday’s Newport Jazz Festival!!! Congratulations to all the musicians and our fantastic director Darin! We’re very proud of you!

Jazz Ensemble 1 won the 3A/4A Division and won the festival’s Sweepstakes Award, recognized as the best jazz ensemble at the festival. They competed on Saturday evening in the finals along with Bellevue High School, Interlake High School, and Shorewood High School. Also finishing the festival strong was Mountlake Terrace High School High School Jazz Ensemble 2 who finished as a runner-up in Saturday evening’s finals. 

Musicians in both jazz ensembles took home the Outstanding Soloists Award in their respective divisions. Senior Ryan Acheson, alto saxophonist in Jazz Ensemble 1, won the 3A/4A Division and sophomore Jesse Guasch, trumpeter in Jazz Ensemble 2, won the A/AA Division. 

Jazz ensembles competed on Saturday morning and afternoon. Adjudicators selected the top 4 ensembles from the 3A/4A and top 3 ensembles from the A/AA Division to compete in Saturday’s finals. Each jazz ensemble performed two songs in Saturday’s finals.

Alumni! We want to hear from you!

Are you an #alumni of the music program – Orchestra, Choir, Jazz, or Concert Bands? If so, we would love to hear from you.

In an effort to share with past, current, and, most important, future students, we want to highlight the impact the program has had on our alumni. Who better to tell this story than those that experienced it first hand. We are compiling individual stories and will share them on our social channels and in our newsletter.

What are we specifically asking from you? We need you to respond to a few questions about the impact the program had one you and what you are doing now. We would like two photos, hopefully a current and one from your time in the music program. Of course, one would be fine.

Email Brett Holt at gigs@mthsmusic.org and he’ll provide the details. Thank you!

Be sure to share this post with an alumni.
